Long time no post.

Okay, so I know it's been quite a while since I last posted....about 4 months to be exact!!  Lots and lots has happened since then.  So here's a short rundown!

In my last posts, I knew we were expecting a new little one, but didn't want to announce yet!  So here's the announcement.  We are expecting baby #2 due November 17.  We found out the first week of July that she will be another girl--name, Harper Grace Villines!!

Because of the news above, we realized that we needed to get Haylie's room upgraded to a "big girl" room so that we could use the "baby" furniture for Harper.  So...that's what our project for the past week has been.  Painting, painting, and more painting, and then organizing and cleaning.  But, I must say, I'm VERY pleased with the final outcome. 

Let's see,  Justin's also been preaching at Konawa the past month of July.  We've really enjoyed being there in this ministry opportunity.  We will be back for sure for the month of September!!

We went on vacation to Colorado Springs also at the beginning of this month.  We had a blast and absolutely LOVED it up there!  It was so cool---that's my kind of weather.  Not this 100 degree stuff with all the humidity!!  We went to Seven Falls, Royal Gorge, Manitou Springs, Focus on the Family, etc.  We also took one day to go to Denver Downtown Aquarium and stopped at an outlet mall on the way back to CO Springs.  Overall, it was one of the best vacations I've ever had!

Last week we went down to Ft. Worth to take a tour of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary Campus.  Justin has applied and been accepted and will start seminary courses at the extension center at Oklahoma Baptist University in August.  Eventually, we may move down there for him to finish up the master of divinity. 

This past Saturday we had Haylie's 2nd b-day party!!  Hard to believe she's 2 already (or will be tomorrow)!  The theme was Elmo.  I made Elmo cupcakes that turned out very cute.  We grilled hotdogs and had homemade chili.  All of our family was there to help celebrate and it was so much fun!  Haylie had a blast opening her presents this year! Her "real" birthday is Thursday, the 29th (tomorrow).  I plan to make her a cake and have just a small "party" with the 3 of us--or almost 4?

Well, that's the rundown of July--and honestly I can't really remember much of April, May and June that would be significant to blog about.  I'm probably forgetting something, but I guess that's why I shouldn't go 4 months without blogging!!
